The Career Novelist™ Podcast With Camille Pagán

77. How to get unstuck—and get back to writing

Listen Later

If you’ve ever gotten stalled while working on your story, this episode’s for you. Camille shares: 

  • Why it’s so easy to interpret uncertainty as a sign you need to stop writing.
  • The surprising step that’s more important than “butt in chair” when you’re stuck.
  • The reason reworking your outline is the worst thing to do when you’re overwhelmed—and what to do instead. 

    • Note: Camille mentions (and recommends) Albert Ellis Ph.D.’s book How to Stubbornly Refuse to Make Yourself Miserable About Anything—Yes, Anything! in this episode. You can read more about Ellis here: https://albertellis.org/about-albert-ellis-phd/
